Don't

about

‘Don’t’ sees Melbourne alt country singer-songwriter Rick Hart delve into his love of deep southern soul and blues. In doing so, he delivers a bare bones tale of how we must all find strength to fight our deepest vices and addictions, whatever they be. Spiritual in nature, it paints the struggle we all face between right and wrong, between good and evil.

lyrics

Oh don’t go, don’t go into town
Where the women are as loose as the change you throw around
If you were a gambling man, would you lay your money down
Oh don’t go, don’t go into town

Oh don’t lose yourself now to the drink
But if you choose that path then best you think
‘Bout the consequences living life out on the brink
Oh don’t lose yourself now to the drink

Oh don’t you use the Lord’s name in vain
When you’ve lost your money and you need someone to blame
A better man, would understand and try to learn from his mistakes
The Lord forgives all sinners, but there is a price to pay

Oh don’t let the devil know your name
‘Cause he ain’t ever satisfied with just fifteen minutes of fame
He’ll take everything you’ve got to give, leave you carrying the shame
So you best not let the devil the devil know your name

Oh don’t you use the Lord’s name in vain
When you’ve lost your money and you need someone to blame
A better man, would understand and try to learn from his mistakes
The Lord forgives all sinners, but there is a price to pay

Oh don’t let the devil know your name
‘Cause he ain’t ever satisfied with just fifteen minutes of fame
He’ll take everything you’ve got to give, leave you carrying the shame
So you best not let the devil the devil know your name
Better men have failed to send him back from where he came
So you best not let the devil know your name
Yeah you best not let the devil know your name
